Hello VEGAS community.

We at VEGAS Creative Software and MAGIX want to provide you with the best editing experience possible and we are experimenting with different ways to help us improve the quality of our software. To that end, we are excited to announce an experimental open beta for our next update of VEGAS Pro 22. You can only find the official build here on the VEGAS User Forum. Please use only this thread to share your feedback.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This is beta software that may still contain known and unknown issues. Do not use this, or any beta software, to work on critical projects
Use only comments to this thread to deliver all feedback. Please do not post feedback about a beta build in separate threads. This allows us to keep the feedback on this beta build separate from official released builds and allows the team to follow the feedback easily in one place
No customer support will be provided for any beta build. Support tickets created in reference to a beta build will be met with a response telling you to post feedback in this thread
This is a one-time experiment, and we will evaluate the process after this update is ultimately released to determine if we could do this again in the future

UPDATE TIMELINE

This is the first of two beta builds we expect for this update. After the last beta build, we will post a release-candidate build (RC) here. When that RC passes all internal and external testing, we will release it in the normal manner
We do not yet have an official release date for this update

"I installed a very minimal Windows 11 Pro 24H2 on a spare machine using this site: https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ to create a script for an unattended installation. I verified that Windows applications could not play AC3.

After installing Vegas Pro 22-243, I was able to use AC3 within Vegas without issue for a brief test. Depending on which players users may use, the problem appears to be solved at the Vegas Pro application level though not at the system level."

Vegas is having a terrible time with .mp3 audio with me. For some reason it creates a stutter/repeats the same music at the beginning of the file. If I render the audio without having the cut/stutter/whatever you'd like to call it a new one appears. No other audio formats do this and I've been using .m4a audio personally, but I'd love to find a solution as this causes problems when collaborating with friends who use different programs that do not handle .m4a well, or render in .mp3 which causes my section to have issues regarding footage being off-beat or out of sync with the video or a voiceover

(I'm aware of differences in audio quality but we're just hobbyists so it's not a big deal to us which format is "better". In our community .mp3 is the most used audio type for ease of access. Not meaning to sound snooty, I just wanted to explain the situation and why I'd prefer having .mp3 working).

Anyhow, I will attach a screenshot of the audio issue in question. I was hoping this beta patch would help the issue but it's the only thing that remains bugging me, so maybe it's something I've done in the settings. If anyone can help I would be incredibly grateful!

Thank you in advance!

I've used mp3's without issue. Unless one has a problematic example to test, hard to give a possible solution.

@sulidive There are variations with mp3 files. I find many work well but some not at all. Can you share a file that doesn't work (or create a new one the same way)?

I'm having a problem using a mask with files created with a proxy, we'll see if this update will work. Anyone else having this problem?

When using LUT-Filter the RAM usage will increase lineally after some time and won't stop.
It continues using more and more RAM until it's full and then it will write / outsource RAM on the SSD pagefile.sys, until the SSD is full.

It's a known issue with all versions of VP22 (to date) and has been mentioned on this thread and others. Best fix/workaround is to use the Color Grading Fx/Panel and load the LUT in there. People have found rendering is also faster with the LUTs loaded in CGP.

Vegas pro 22 deveria ter mais recursos, como por exemplo legenda automatica mesmo para os clientes que não paga a versão 365, mais para quem tem a licença vitalicio essa funssão não esta disponivel, ai tenho que correr para outros programas.

VEGASDerek wrote on 4/1/2025, 12:14 PM

Vegas pro 22 should have more features, such as automatic subtitling even for customers who do not pay for the 365 version, but for those who have the lifetime license this feature is not available, so I have to run to other programs.

@Roberto-Almeida:

All features are available for the perpetual version, just like the 365 version. Please see the product comparison page for more information about these features and their availability with each licensing option. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/product-comparison/#c286423

Después de instalar la BETA de Sony Vegas Pro 22.0, el idioma español no aparece después de reiniciar el programa, sigue con su idioma original, el inglés.

Agradecería que me dieran una solución al problema.

Muchas gracias.

First, it is not any "Sony". Second, it is "an experimental open beta build". Wait for the next public build.

The beta installer's file name is "BETA_VEGAS_Pro_22.0.0.243_x64_DLV_DE-EN-FR-ES-BR_250303_18-04_8616A211.exe"

with the ES is for Spanish so it should work but apparently does not.

Using Third party VST3 plugins, such as plugins from Waves, Acon digital, boris fx, sonible, or FabFilter etc in Vegas Pro 21 was really really slow it would take forever to load a project with third party VST3 plugins and trimming the audio or dragging it from one place to another after you applied any Third party VST3 plugins would take forever, and vegas pro 21 would just hang, its improved Vegas Pro 22 but still suffers from the same issues just less. using Waves mono plugins for mono auidio it just boosts the audio signal for some reason, it only happens in mono not if you use stereo. And Acon Digital DeNoise 2 when you use learn function in noise profile it works but after restarting the project you have to do it all over again which makes this unusable. And after using any of them on your audio either single track or multiple then Vegas Pro 22 slowly becomes sluggish and slow its not as snappy especially when playing back it takes a second or two to load, these new Ai improvements are great and all but if you guys would focus on this first it would be really great. Just something i have noticed wanted to give my feedback, i appreciate the hard work you guys are putting in.

El nombre del archivo del instalador beta es "BETA_VEGAS_Pro_22.0.0.243_x64_DLV_DE-EN-FR-ES-BR_250303_18-04_8616A211.exe"

y ES es para español, por lo que debería funcionar, pero aparentemente no lo hace.

Perdona, ¿pero sabes dónde puedo encontrar el link para poder descargar el exe que me está diciendo? Muchas gracias

Primero, no hay ningún "Sony". Segundo, es una versión beta abierta experimental. Espere la próxima versión pública.

@Esther-SaletasEspinosa

Muchas gracias por la aclaración, pero compré el programa en español y cada vez que reinicio me sale su idioma original. Envié un mensaje y me dijeron que me instalara la beta, pero sigo con el mismo problema, fue por ello que escribí el mensaje.

@Esther-SaletasEspinosa Según comentan en este otro hilo, los desarrolladores ya han identificado el problema y esperan corregirlo en próximas actualizaciones. De momento parece que tendrá que dejarlo en inglés. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/help-switch-to-spanish-language--148751/#ca935770

Ahora mismo cualquier versión actual de VEGAS tiene el mismo problema.

Muchas gracias por la contestación. Estaré atenta a las actualizaciones. Gracias por la ayuda prestada.
